I'm using Firefox. I tried this. Didn't work. I looked three times and I can't find it, either. That doesn't mean it isn't there. It just means I'm blind, but I wanted you to feel sorry for me.

Can I just say that the cards in the gallery are amazing. More than any other year I find myself wiping away tears, laughing out loud, and gasping at the incredible talent on display there. You can feel the love! Y'all are awesome!

Happy Sunday y'all! I was able to complete my cards for yesterday and today! I have to take myself out of my typical card style in order to do these challenges (otherwise, I'd never get any done!) and I'm loving it! Tomorrow is picture day so I can upload! Have a great night!

A little bit of love always spills out for each other as we direct our love in folded form toward the patients and their loved ones - and that is why I love HYCCT.

Hey guys; the CAS challenge is up and it is a CASE an alumni challenge this week. Emily/stampingout has a great CAS gallery. I did a lot of CASEing from our Queen for the Day challenge galleries during the DTGT challenges as a way to help keep up. Just a thought

LOVE that! I do love combining them with other site challenges - I just did that today as a matter of fact!

Whew! I'm all caught up (minus uploading them all). I thought stamping with a baby was tough last year, but a toddler is a whole other story! I am going to try so, so hard to get them all made again. I cried last year as I finished them and loved every single minute of the experience. I probably won't get to chat much, but I do try to stop in and read the last page or so when I can.

No stamping for me today, but I did put a recipe in the recipe box thread! We've been eating this yummy potato salad all through the summer-I grew arugula in the garden just so we could eat this stuff! Seriously good eats.

Ok Girls: I must be doing something wrong...my card is not showing up in the HYYCT gallery, but I have received a comment from Lydia, so I don't know where she found my card. Can someone please describe all the steps to get my cards posted on the site? Please. I'm a first timer with HYYCT. Thanks so much. I have done what Lydia posted a few pages up about events, etc. but I still can't find where they ended up.

It's probably just waiting for approval. Lydia has super powers so she can see cards before they're approved (our mods take Sunday off, so any Sunday uploads are held until Monday's crew gets to them).

When YOU click on your card in your member gallery, does it list the HYCCT gallery at the top?

I'm so glad I discovered this annual challenge when I did. It couldn't have come at a better time in my life. I really needed the distraction. My need to give back is being somewhat fulfilled, and my creative muse is happily at play again after much too long at rest.
I'm currently only 1.5 challenges behind. I'm hoping to complete each challenge.
I'm really enjoying reading the chatter among you friends. It's so refreshing to see genuine support.

My cards weren't posted until early this AM and I had uploaded them about 7 last night. I don't know if it was due to a lot of cards being uploaded, or they didn't have someoe doing the gallery approval, or if it was since I'm not a paying member of SCS that they weren't posted in the gallery. They are now!!

I see it now - it was just waiting for approval after the weekend. You have the right keyword, and you're in the proper gallery, so YAY! Hope you'll post more!

Happy Monday everyone! I'm a few behind (we had company over the weekend), but I'm sure I'll catch up shortly.

Thanks to Jennifer for weighing in on the bra card/die. I actually angeled a lady through chemo angels, who had breast cancer. We became quite close through emails and she told me her favorite cards were the pink ribbon, bras and funny ones. She was a card maker herself, and loved those sort of images.

Gail, that arugula potato salad sounds amazing. We've been getting a lot of arugula from our CSA, going to try your recipe and Jen's new time we get some.

I agree with what everyone is saying, it is so nice to really feel the love in the gallery. Best time of the year on SCS!

When my kids were younger I rarely got time to stamp. I didn't have a dedicated area so the dining room table was it and that sure wasn't kid safe! When we first moved to Indiana my stamping stuff went into a hall closet with a locked door to keep the littles out. I later set up an area down in the unfinished basement, but it was cramped and surrounded by boxes so I didn't spend much time there either. Since we've been in the current house, I have so enjoyed having my own space!!! It still isn't pretty as I'm in an unfinished basement again, but it is set up so much better than anything I've ever had before and there are two basement windows right by my area so I get pretty good light and it doesn't feel "cave-like" Hang in there mom....it does get better. Now I get to bring my girls into my crafting with me...I get my DD's eye for design choices...and I can leave my stuff out and NOBODY touches it!!!

Mods get Sunday off , so cards go in a queue and wait till we're back on duty again. Anyone with gallery mod privileges or superpowers like Lydia can see them before they're approved though, and I think anybody can see the thumbnails.

Just back from a weekend away and offline and I see I have a LOT of catching up to do...

Question for all of you lovely ladies -- what is your tried & true, favorite dimensional? I have a bunch of ZVA Creative ones that I ordered from a friend with a wholesale account -- they are a number of years old, but have been in the original packaging. THEY DON'T STICK! I have even come to put a glue dot on each dimensional and that isn't working. I store them in a Ziploc after opening and they are all about to go into the garbage!

Thanks Dini! I still can't find it, but I'll take your word for it. Where am I supposed to look for the upload besides my own gallery. There are quite a few threads. Forgive my ignorance, I'm still learning all the techno stuff. I'd rather just stamp!

My favorite dimensionals are by This to That by American Crafts. Each package contains two different sizes and contains 272 tabs. I usually get them at the warehouse sale in Utah and buy enough for the entire year!

Oooh! I love warehouse sales and we get a lot of them in Utah, if you can track them down. Is there a mailing list I can sign up on to be in the know?

I use SU Dimensionals but I cut them in half...(the long strip way & on the top and last row I cut each dimensional so that there is that cut there too)...I usually put one 1/2 on each corner...and if the image is larger then I put something in the middle...

I bought about 30 packages 5 years ago and they still stick...I did just purchase a few packages as my stash was getting low...

ZVA Creative dimensionals as in the bling right, not the double sided foam squares/adhesive? "Dimensionals" seems to be used for both depending on the brand so I'm easily confused as to which is referred to. I also have some of the blingy stuff that has lost their stickiness. I was going to try glue or the Glossy Accents but haven't yet. Has anyone else tried these or find something that works?

They are the double sided foam adhesive, made by ZVA Creative. They started out good... Hmmm -- if your bling lost their sticky too - not sounding too good for the company adhesive.

Dimensionals: I never have a 'regular' shape, so I cut my own dimensionals from adhesive foam in the kids crafts section of most stores. I just cut the size, shape I need, peel the backing off, then add a dot of good glue to the top of the piece to stick to my item. I have had similar problems from almost any foam dimensional products out there - the glue dries out, the little pieces won't come unstuck from the packaging, etc. HTH!

I am finally able to sit at my studio desk for more than 15 minutes, so I'm hoping to get caught up today. These challenges are ROCKING! I love them all!

I've got another technical question for this beginner. Why do my pictures turn sideways when I upload them. They are not that way in my files. And when I go back in to edit the photo, it says the image was rotated but it isn't. What am I doing wrong.

What are you uploading from? Directly from a camera, from iOS?

When you go in to edit and rotate an image, it can take 15 minutes or so before you actually see any change. The gallery database is HUGE and it takes time for any edits to sync and show!
